Why use coupons?
Ok.. so I have heard all the excuses. "I don't have time.", "Coupons don't come for what I need." "I don't like clipping." I have used all these excuses and more for not using coupons. The fact of the matter is....coupons save you LOTS of money. It takes a few months to get a good collection and organize them to where you can find what you need. And yes.. it is a little extra work but once you know where to go and sign up to a couple of websites that give you intstant ways to save money...it is worth it. This blog has a funny story from a husbands perspective when his wife decided to do coupons. If you want a good laugh, please read it:

90% SAVINGS!!
Yes it is true! I went to Wallmart with my other Kraft coupons for free hot dogs and cheese, $2 coupons for produce, bread, and milk and my Tava drink coupons. Therefore, $40 worth of products was only $11. If you buy 3 Kool-aides then you can get the free Kraft items. The only bad thing that happened was the cashier had to go through each coupon and customers kept leaving my line. I am glad that I did not go when it was busy.
Here are some of my findings for today:
Free sample of Scott toiletpaper

Kraft Deal at HEB!
Thank you to one of my bloggers, I was able to snag a great deal at HEB. They have buy Kraft pudding and Kraft dressing and you get other items free. In the ALL YOU magazine they have these coupons for Kraft dressing free and Wheat thins free when you buy kraft products. (You can check out her blog at http://jane4girls800dollarannualbudget.blogspot.com/) I used the coupons for milk and produce again because I had to buy some peaches for a peach cobbler and the peaches were on sale! My total before coupons: 72.42 and my coupons were $46.75 so I only paid $25.85!! The manager had to come over and do an overide for the transaction. You can do this too. The ALL YOU magazine is a Walmart for $1.77 and it is worth every penny to get three copies to save $46. My kids love the kool-aide but they won't get that all the time, it was just because they were free. ;)
I also went to Randalls on my way home from the YMCA. They had a great deal on Kelloggs cereal...$1.50 per box and I have a coupons for $1 off two. Anytime cereal is $1 a box, it is a great deal. I also got some trial samples of Advil so I could use the $1 coupons that I had which were going to expire.(Did I say they were FREE?) I saved $20 there. They have a buy one get one free eggs so I got that deal too. My kids love egg salad sandwiches.

Are you thirsty?
I went to HEB and used some of those $2 off coupons for produce, milk, and bread if you bought Kelloggs items. I have a lot of Kelloggs coupons. I saved $15 there. And then I took a deep breath and went to Walmart. I went over the rules with the kids before we went in and they did good. I saved $30. I got a lot of trial size items that I could find. Gold Bond lotion, Playtex wipes, and the Johnson Buddies soaps. Then the best deal ever was the Powerade was on sale for .60 cents and I had grabbed coupons at Wallgreens for Powerade and it was $1 off three. I bought 9 because it came out to .26 cents for each one!! They each have a coke rewards code in the cap. Yipee!! My husband drinks these kind of drinks a lot so he was happy too. I don't know if there are any more coupons at Wallgreens but it is worth checking out.
Here is a link to Pillsbury for over $20 in coupons! Just sign up and print!

Cheap Soda and Kleenex
At Wallgreens they are having a sale on Kleenex for .89 cents and there are coupons from the paper for 50 cents off Kleenex and so I am getting as much Kleenex as possible for 39 cents each. Winter will be comming! Also, I have coupons for Sprite Buy one get one free and they are only $1 each at Wallgreens and so I am stocking up on Soda. There are also some peelies on the soda that I found which made a 2liter bottle of soda for 25 cents. Look for the peelies!!!
More goodies to come soon....

New Clothes at Goodwill!!
We went school shopping for clothes at Goodwill. (There are so many Goodwills in Texas) It is like a treasure hunt. We got all the above clothes for $20. That included new Spiderman shoes for Jason because he wore out his flip flops! I noticed the clothes for boys are very worn out and it is hard to find new ones. However, Jessica got brand new pants and shirts...never been worn! Usually, one pair of pants would cost $20. I found a Sade CD for $1 and it works great.
I got some more freebies in the mail. Classico sent me a coupon for .50 off and a free Classico sauce because I could not print their coupon and I sent them an email about it. I got a free sample of aftershave balm from Nivea for Rick. I also got a coupon for a free V8 fusion 48oz. Did I say how much I love getting free stuff in the mail? I LOVE IT!!! :)
Here are some items I found today!
Free Sobe Water when you buy a 12 pack of Pepsi (print 2)
